Migrating to 2.0

Information on updating your 1.5 applications to work with version 2.0 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript.

Breaking Changes

The GeometryService now takes geometries as input instead of graphics. Applications that use the following geometry service operations will need to be modified.

OperationDescription
areasAndLengths The graphics parameter was replaced by areasAndLengths.
buffer The BufferParameters features option was replaced by geometries.

Version 1.x

function doBuffer(evt){
  var graphic = new esri.Graphic(evt.mapPoint, symbol);
  var params = new esri.tasks.BufferParameters();
  params.features = [ graphic ];
  ...

Version 2.0

function doBuffer(evt) {
  var params = new esri.tasks.BufferParameters();
  params.geometries = [ evt.mapPoint ];
  ...
labelPoints The polygons parameter changed from an array of graphics to an array of geometries v2.0
lengths The graphics parameter was replaced by lengthsParameter.

Version 1.x

geometryService.lengths(graphics);

Version 2.0

lengthParams.polylines = [geometry];
geometryService.lengths(lengthParams);
project The graphics parameter was replaced by geometries.

Version 1.x

gsvc.project([ graphic ], outSR, function(features) {});

Version 2.0

function projectToLatLong() {
  gsvc.project([ pt ], outSR, function(projectedPoints) {
    ...
  });
});
relation The graphics1,graphics2, spatialRelationship and comparisonString parameters were replaced by relationParameter.
simplify The graphics paramter was replaced by geometries.

The RouteTask.onSolveComplete event now returns an anonymous solveResult object which contains: routeResults, barriers, polylineBarriers, polygonBarriers, and messages.

Version 1.x

function showRoute(routeResults, barriers) {
  map.graphics.add(routeResults[0].route.setSymbol(routeSymbol));
}

Version 2.0

function showRoute(solveResult) {
  directions = solveResult.routeResults[0].directions;
  directionFeatures = directions.features;
}
